This ship remains to date the final H.M.S. Coventry, She was built to replace losses from the Falkland’s war, one of these losses happened to be H.M.S. Coventry D118 a type 42 destroyer.
H.M.S. Coventry F98 was a batch 2 type 22 frigate, she was armed with sea wolf and exocet missiles, later ships of this class would be armed with a traditional gun in place of the exocets. unfortunately she did not serve anywhere near her full lifespan, being withdrawn from service early in a defence review and sold to Romania.
